Dirt_Floor_Poor Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I was at my favorite repair shop this afternoon to get a semi inspected and happened to meet someone from Alaska. I checked on Google maps and it said his town of Palmer, Alaska is a little over 2,700 miles away. He was having trouble with his RV. I think that’s the first person I’ve ever actually met face to face from that state. I had a nice conversation with him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 6 or 7 mile west. But like all good things government,😵 I see they revised it to 6.5 by now. Being 60 or 70 miles west of another 6.5 in 1983, my first though in 03 was this must one heck of a quake at ground zero. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twolines Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Being from western Oregon we have not experienced any quakes more than a couple points. Really just makes me nervous about this old cabin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twolines Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Wish i could say better....and was kind of embarrassed? to admit it but on top of other small drama, i had a life long friend drink himself to death. Still trying to cope with things. Thanks for asking. I try to be a tough guy but for some reason it keeps hitting me in the guts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are able to hold up, bin there just a month ago, lost a bud Ive known since 12 years old, started biking at 16, thats how he went out, crashed on the coq, same age as me, way to early, 75 and I don't want to leave just yet, you take care my friend. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twolines Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Im sorry for your loss and thanks for asking. I just stink at this stuff..funny what gets at ya, ya know. When my mom passed(cancer) we knew and had time to prepare and say our last words. I knew my friend, Gary, would end up this way but the prepare part was different.. also the guilt of getting pist at him and pushing him away for almost 10 yrs now is just fn killin me.....i knew i couldnt help him but i was a sh!t friend for doing so....selfish of me. Im really trying not to beat myself up but its hard, i feel like a pile of sh!t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasnake Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I'm not going to say anything except rethink your thoughts, you say you pushed him away, thats a two way street, if someone does not want help there is nothing you can do to change their ways unless they want to change, and hanging yourself out to dry because he would'nt/could'nt change is not on you, take it easy on yourself and take care. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Englander Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Impressive mountain. I only got a view of it once and from a distance at that as most of our Asia flights were at night. What kind of plane were you riding in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was on a small horizon air flight, I think it was an Embraur! Maybe an ERJ 175? in order to make it from fairbanks to Deadhorse we have to fly south to Anchorage and then north to Deadhorse makes all kinds of sense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
